While I knew the little blue bird wasn't for me, I'm still thinking how I want to participate here.

As I figure that out, I might as well share the occasional photo, right?

@PupSquiffy anything you're thinking about, wondering, or struggling with with masto? I'm sure this whole community would be happy to help you sort through some thoughts!
@PupCrowbar No, but thanks! The tech part was so straightforward honestly; after hearing how steep the learning curve is, and how tough to understand the architecture is, I was expecting no less. Honestly, this reminds me a lot of the early internet, so it was easy to me. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Which is a compliment… My issues are more existential… What, precisely, do I want to share? What do I want out of it? The stuff I got so wrong on the blue bird, it seems. 🤪

@PupSquiffy I hear ya! Well I hope you continue sharing whatever you feel is right!

For me? I've felt like the more-insular nature of mastodon communities has put WAY less pressure on me to share the "right" stuff, or to follow massive global trends or memes that I don't really care about - which has been lovely. It means I can find it pretty comfortable to just share what's on my mind and to be me without worrying about how it'll be received.

@PupCrowbar So far, it sure feels exactly like you describe. Bottom line? I think I should just roll with it… 🤪

@PupSquiffy I'm very much a go-with-the-flow pup, so that's usually my tactic when I'm figuring something out, but you should do whatever feels right by you ☺️

(But I'll add that I'm biased about this because you're a cute pup and I hope to see more of you around here 😜)
